The above and other objects, features and advantages of the present invention will become more <RTIgt; 2A and 2B are schematic views showing the structure of an optical projection device according to a preferred embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figures 2A and 2B, the optical projection device 200a/200b of the present embodiment includes an illumination system 210, a reflective light valve 220, an imaging system 230, and a first reflective element 240. The illumination system 210 is adapted to provide a light beam 212a, and the reflective light valve 220 is disposed on the transmission path of the light beam 212a. This reflective light valve 220 is adapted to convert the light beam 212a into an image 212a.

In response to the above, after passing through the first optical element 214, the light beam 212a is reflected by the first reflective element 240 onto the reflective light valve 220. The first reflective element 240 is, for example, a mirror, and the mirror can be a flat mirror (as shown in FIG. 2A), a curved mirror (as shown in FIG. 2B), or an aspherical mirror.

In addition, in the present embodiment, the first reflective element 240 is used, and the design of the reflected beam 212a and the image 212a' not only reduces the number of reflective elements, but also saves component cost, and further reduces the volume of the optical projection device 200a. It should be noted that, in addition to the mirror shown in FIG. 2A and FIG. 2B, the first reflective element of the embodiment may be a 稜鏡 (not shown) having a reflective layer. The reflective layer is used to reflect the beam 212a onto the reflective light valve 220 and to reflect the image 212a produced by the reflective light valve 220 into the imaging system 230. 3 is a schematic diagram showing the structure of a junction 1261462 16292 twf.doc/g of an optical projection device according to another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to Figure 3, which is similar to Figure 2A, the following description is only for differences. In the optical projection device 200c of the embodiment, the illumination system 210 further includes a second reflective element 218 disposed between the first optical element 214 and the first reflective element 240. This second reflective element 214 is, for example, a mirror that is used to reflect the beam 212a onto the first reflective element 240. 4 is a schematic view showing the structure of an optical projection device according to still another embodiment of the present invention. Referring to FIG. 4, the maximum difference from FIG. 2A is that in the optical projection device 200d of FIG. 4, the imaging system 230 further includes a third reflective component 234, and the third reflective component 234 is disposed on the optical projection device 200d. Between the second optical elements 232. In the present embodiment, the third reflective element is, for example, a mirror that is used to change the transmission path of the image 212a such that the imaging system 230 has a bend therein. As a result, the length of the imaging system 230 can be shortened, thereby shortening the length of the optical projection device 200d. In summary, the optical projection apparatus of the present invention has at least the following advantages: _1. Since the first reflective element can change the transmission path of the image so that the position of the imaging system is placed in close proximity to the illumination system, the entirety of the optical projection apparatus of the present invention The volume can be made smaller and thinner. 2. The use of the first reflective element to simultaneously reflect the beam and image design not only reduces the number of reflective components, but also saves component cost, and further reduces the size of the optical projection device. 3. Configuring the third reflective element between the second optical element in the imaging system, the image transmission path can be changed to shorten the length of the imaging system, and the length of the optical projection device is shortened by twf.doc/g. .
